2:28am we did it. we made it in one piece to albany. and arrived at the exact same time we left san diego 5 1/2 weeks ago. ironic? crazy? yes. it seriously seems like a minute ago we left san diego. 7,960.7 miles exactly to travel all throughout america. i accomplished my goal of driving the entire way so i am stoked. its 54 degrees out. beyond exhausted. best trip of my life and a summer ill never forget. i have always wanted to drive across the country but never did i expect the trip to be this amazing and awesome. this trip has taught me to really let things come as they come. everything happens for some reason. and even the worst of times (driving through nebraska) will wind up being one of our favorite stories. life handed us a bunch of lemons and we drank that lemonade the entire way. i couldn't be happier that i had a great friend like erin along the way with me. we hit 33 states and traveled almost 8,000 miles. i feel so lucky and blessed that we got to have this journey and experience all the things along the way. now that i feel i have seen america to its fullest, i am ready to take on a new and even bigger adventure: backpacking through europe........ all i have to do is save enough money and buy a backpack and here we come.... all i have to say is 'europe. watch out. you are going to have no idea what hit you when we get there"
to be continued.......
